Right guard Brandon Brooks and the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to a reworked contract, according to a report from NFL insider Field Yates.
Source: the Eagles created $6.37M in cap space by reworking the deal of Pro Bowl G Brandon Brooks. He converted base salary into bonuses, dropping his cap number to $4.768M for this year.

To be clear, Brooks isn’t taking a pay cut. The Eagles’ ability to lower his cap number in 2018 comes at the expense of raising it in future years.
